The slightly bizarre story leading up to a highly-anticipated firmware update to address vital issues with the Samsung Vibrant finally has an ending. After popping up on Samsung’s Kies distribution platform only to be pulled, the update that should fix a glaring issue with the functionality of the handset’s GPS fell into an awkward position, with Samsung and T-Mobile promising more info this week. Now, according to Samsung and the reports of Vibrant users the update is rolling out over-the-air to the Galaxy S phone as promised. Anyone out there receive it? Are you happy now?

The new iPod Nano isn’t actually running on any form of iOS.
The new iPod Nano isn’t actually running on any form of iOS. Very tricky, Apple. Well, not really, they never touted the new Nano as an iOS device. It looks pretty close, but that’s because the software is designed to resemble iOS. At least it gives them some continuity between devices.
This was confirmed by an Apple spokesperson, in fact, it was the same person who said that the current Apple TV will not be getting a firmware update with the new features. They also noted that this system behaves very differently in some situations, with the main difference being its inability to use third-party Apps. Still, we figured it may be at the very least built off of the same system…just a little cut back.
